Pennsylvania Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Lawyer
Although you may not notice how much physical exertion your office job demands, the painful cumulative toll of the strain that tasks such as typing cause can bring your work to a stand still. The repetitive performance of even a seemingly insignificant movement can cause microscopic tears in the tissues that are utilized in the motion, and when the action is performed so frequently that those tears do not have a chance to heal, serious injury may result.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one such repetitive motion injury, and it is the result of swelling that pinches the median nerve at the point where it passes through the wrist. Professions at risk of carpal tunnel include:
- Office/Computer Work
- Electronics Personnel
- Meatpacking
- Sewing
- Cleaning and Hospitality
Carpal Tunnel and Workers’ Comp
A case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may render you temporarily unable to work as you allow your body to heal, and if your work-related injury forces you to miss time, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.
The Pennsylvania repetitive motion injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., can help you file a workers’ compensation claim, so that your family can avoid the financial distress that being without pay can introduce. Furthermore, if you need to appeal an insurer’s denial of benefits, or to take the matter into the legal system if all of your other options have been exhausted, we can help with either of those situations, too.
